- So now what we're going to do is…add those last touches to our license plate,…the little bolts and that little damage…from a bad job of parking somewhere.…So let's go back to that file of the license…plate that we created right there.…And the little bolts, the bolts are easy.…What we do is we'll just create a little circle,…right here, a little tiny circle.…That's going to be our bolt.…And in the layer on top of this all we make it bolt.…And we'll fill it, we've got these nice colors here.…

We'll just go ahead and fill it with a radial gradient,…just like this, there, so we have this nice.…And the light source is actually coming from above,…so let's just give it a little more of a tone…like that, there we go, get rid of that.…And what I'm going to do is I'm going to go in…and give this a little layer style.…Now this layer style is going to give it some depth.…And the light's coming from straight above,…so let's set this to 90, okay,…and bring it down just a little bit more and lighten it up…so we see less of that shadow right in there.…

Follow along in the development of Bert Monroy's latest artwork, Amsterdam Mist! This course, the final volume in the series, focuses on the vehicles, boats, and many, many bicycles in this incredible painting, which was created over twenty-two painstaking months with Photoshop CC. Bert shows how to create cars with decorative hubcaps, transparent windshields, and realistic license plates; decommissioned boats, draped in tarps; and three different bicycle models, which he ended up using over four dozen times in the finished painting.
